Sample case for QWidget.fontMetrics

The fontMetrics function isn't listed in documentation function list :

http://www.pyside.org/docs/pyside/PySide/QtGui/QWidget.html#PySide.QtGui.QWidget.

But some references are made to fontMetrics in this documentation. Specially
the "see also" part of the documentation of QWidget.font

This methods isn't deprecated in Qt4.4 from what i see in the documentation,
and exist in PyQt4.

Tested on Maemo Fremantle :

0.3.0-1maemo1
and Qt 4.6.2

This breaks compatibility with PyQt4 but a work arround can be used (extracted
from KhtEditor sources (self is a subclass of a QWidget)):

#QWidget.fontMetrics didn't exist on current 0.3.0 version of PySide
#binding. Just a work arround for the moment
#width = self.fontMetrics().width(str(self.highest_line)) + 4
#PySide Work Arround
width = QFontMetrics(self.font).width(str(self.highest_line)) + 4
